This edition (October–December 2025) covers all key news and highlights from the past trimester, including the latest 6G Large-Scale Trials announcements. The new 6G-SANDBOX Newsletter (Issue 12) features the launch of Deterministic Networking & FR3 trials, recognition in the SNS JU Top-10 Achievements for our EIaaS Toolkit, a successful 2-day webinar with 250+ attendees, and a strong presence at major events (NFV-SDN, Thinknet 6G, FNWF, GLOBECOM). Stay tuned as we continue driving impactful 6G experimentation forward.
As we wrap up the year at 6G-SANDBOX project, we’re proud of everything we’ve achieved together! The consortium wishes you Happy Holidays, filled with love, joy, and special moments.

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our two-day webinar, 6G-SANDBOX Unveiled, which showcased the latest developments, platform capabilities, and experimental breakthroughs of the 6G-SANDBOX project. The event brought together a strong and highly engaged audience from across the global 6G research and innovation ecosystem.
Day 1 focused on the foundations of the 6G-SANDBOX platform, introducing the trial network concept and ease of experimentation, along with a comprehensive platform overview. Participants were also introduced to the role of the Digital Twin, highlighting how virtualized representations of the network support design, validation, and optimization of advanced 6G experimentation workflows.
Day 2 was dedicated to Experimentation Results & Technical Insights, presenting a series of in-depth technical sessions, including:
Experimentation Results (Part A): PHY Layer and Propagation
Experimentation Results (Part B): Programmable and Scalable O-RAN Networks
Towards 6G KPIs: Calibration and Measurement Results
These sessions showcased concrete experimental outcomes, key findings, and lessons learned from real experimentation activities, followed by an interactive Q&A session that further demonstrated the strong engagement of the audience.
Both webinar days featured interactive elements, including live poll throughout the sessions and dedicated live Q&A discussions at the end of each day. The level of engagement was exceptional, and we sincerely thank all participants for their strong presence, insightful questions, and constructive discussions.
The webinar featured expert presenters from the 6G-SANDBOX consortium:
Michael Dieudonne, Keysight
Pedro Merino Gomez, University of Malaga
Adam Flizikowski, IS-Wireless
Bjorn Riemer, Fraunhofer FOKUS
Dimitris Tsolkas, Fogus
Joao Ferreira, Keysight
Juan Torres Arjona, Nokia
Matteo Pagin, Keysight
The event attracted more than 250 unique attendees, representing more than 300 unique organizations, demonstrating strong interest from academia, industry, and the wider 6G community.
Our project coordinator, Michael Dieudonne, just before our 2-day webinar, gives an overview of the project.
‘The 6G-SANDBOX Project is a cornerstone of Europe’s strategy to advance next-generation wireless systems. Funded by the European Commission through the SNS JU program, this initiative provides a robust environment for experimentation, integrating diverse platforms located in Athens, Berlin, Malaga, and Oulu. In this video, Michael Dieudonne explains the project’s objectives, from defining architectural frameworks and KPIs to conducting real-world trials on technologies such as non-terrestrial networks (NTN), reflective intelligent surfaces (RIS), FR3 frequency bands, and deterministic networking. With open participation and collaborative plugfests, the 6G-SANDBOX project is paving the way for groundbreaking research and industry engagement. Discover how you can join and contribute to this transformative journey toward 6G.’
We are proud to share that 6G-SANDBOX has been selected among the Smart Networks and Services Joint Undertaking (SNS JU) 2025 Top-10 Key Achievements, thanks to our Experimentation Infrastructure as a Service (ElaaS) Toolkit.
Our Toolkit is an open, modular software platform that empowers anyone, from startups to researchers, to remotely test new 6G ideas without complex setups or costly equipment. It accelerates innovation and fosters collaboration across Europe’s digital ecosystem.
Out of 188 achievements submitted from 63 SNS JU projects, we are honored that 6G-SANDBOX has been recognized as one of Europe’s most impactful contributions!
On the 10–12 November, our Project Coordinator Michael Dieudonneé (Keysight Technologies) participated in the Symposium on FN/6G Testbeds, which was held in the context of the IEEE Future Networks World Forum, at Bangalore, India.
Michael delivered a presentation on 6G-SANDBOX testbeds, Digital Twins, while also promoting the project’s experimentation opportunities and the upcoming Large-Scale 6G Trials.
We are excited to invite you to our two-part webinar, hosted by Keysight Technologies, taking place on December 10 –11, 2025. Join us to explore the 6G-SANDBOX platform capabilities, real-world trial results, and technical milestones achieved throughout the project!
